Dear Friend, I make this promise to you: We will fight until every child of color has a ladder where no steps are broken or missing. This is my unwavering commitment to economic justice. Today, on Giving Tuesday, you can join this fight. The reality is stark: Black Americans are missing about 24% of the economic pie. But as economic first responders, we're on the ground making change happen every single day. For more than a century, through every social movement, every economic cycle, every national challenge, we've remained steadfast in our mission. When others retreat, we advance. When others waver, we stand firm. When others fall silent, we speak up. This is who we are. This is what we do. Not just today, not just this year, but every day, every year, until true economic justice is achieved. Just ask Brent Shreve. Today, Brent has transformed his life, securing a career position as a Residential Specialist at Eastway Behavioral Health. His story is just one example of the impact we create every day: ✓ Job readiness training that opens doors ✓ Career coaching that builds futures ✓ Support services that remove barriers ✓ Job fairs that create opportunities Each of these services represents a crucial step on the ladder to economic mobility, and with your support, we can help more people like Brent access these life-changing opportunities. Your Giving Tuesday gift helps build these crucial missing steps: • $50 provides job readiness training • $100 supports career coaching services • $250 funds employment barrier removal programs Your Giving Tuesday donation will help bridge the gap by providing substantial relief – both financially and personally – for individuals like Brent. Beyond any ballot box, our work as economic first responders carries on. Stand with us today. Thank you for being an economic first responder for Black America - and for taking this global day of giving opportunity to support Black and Brown communities. Sincerely, Marc H. Morial President and Chief Executive Officer P.S. Consider joining our Legacy Circle or our Opportunity Circle (making a monthly gift) to help build missing steps for years to come. |
